Around 20 militants were killed by the troops during clashes in the Darra Adam Khel and Kohat areas of North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on January 26, according to Daily Times. Gunship helicopters pounded suspected Taliban positions in the mountains near Darra Adam Khel and Kohat district, eyewitnesses and the military spokesman said. Security officials said the militants had taken position at hilltops overlooking Darra and Kohat and were using long-range rockets to target civilians in Kohat city. Meanwhile, Abdullah Halafi, a self-proclaimed spokesman for a Taliban group, threatened the militants would launch attacks on government forces in the Khyber Agency if attacks on their comrades in Darra did not stop. Military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said that the Kohat Tunnel was in the control of militants. Abbas said security forces were progressing and operation for the control of the tunnel would be launched any time soon. Reports, however, said the tunnel – also known as the Pak-Japan Friendship Tunnel – was only attacked and damaged by militants. The extent of damage to the tunnel was, however, not clear.

At least 17 people – including 13 Frontier Constabulary (FC) personnel – were killed on July 12-afternoon in a clash between Taliban and security forces (SFs) in the Hangu district of NWFP, reports Daily Times. The fighting erupted after Taliban militants ambushed an FC convoy in the Drori Banda area of Hangu. The dead also included three civilians and a local militant, residents and Taliban sources said. Member of the National Assembly Pir Haidar Shah and the Hangu district nazim said the dead included FC district officer Muhammad Karim Khan. Shah said the FC convoy was heading towards the volatile town of Hangu from its fort in Drori Banda when it came under attack from Taliban at around 5.30 pm (PST). According to Geo News, the FC troops fired mortar shells at the hilly hideouts of the Taliban and called for helicopter gunship to provide air cover. The channel reported that the bodies of FC personnel were still lying in the Drori area and SFs were unable to move the corpses, as the area is under Taliban control. An unnamed FC official said that the FC troops killed in the clash numbered to 17. He said the militants had also taken an FC vehicle after the clash. The district administration declared emergency in nearby hospitals soon after the incident.

The Pakistan Army, the Frontier Constabulary (FC) and the Frontier Police launched an operation on July 16 in the Naryab and Zargari areas of Doaba Town in Hangu district, attacking hideouts of militants with gunship helicopters and artillery fire, The News reported. There were unconfirmed reports that heavy shelling killed one person in Tora Warai while four others sustained injuries in Naryab. Curfew is already in place in Doaba town since July 9 when the police had launched a crackdown on certain groups. Educational institutions, bazaars and roads in the area have been closed for the last one week and the local people are reportedly migrating to safer places. “The Army and the police have launched the operation in Naryab, which was later extended to Zargari and other areas to eliminate groups that are threatening peace in Hangu. So far there is no report of any casualty,” District Police Officer, Mohammad Idrees, told The News from Hangu. The officer said that no hideout had been demolished in the operation. After getting air cover from choppers, the troops reportedly moved to Naryab town with tanks and armoured personnel carriers at around 12 noon to take over the stronghold of the local militants, who had recently killed 17 FC personnel during an ambush in Zargari and occupied the Doaba police station. Spokesman for the militants in Hangu, Maulvi Haider, alleged that the Taliban had assured the Jirga (council) of not carrying out any attack but despite that the Government had moved the security forces against them. According to a local resident, there are about 200 to 300 militants in different villages of Doaba but the rest had come from the adjacent tribal areas.

Gunship helicopters pounded militant hideouts in the Zargari town of Hangu district in the early hours of July 19, according to Daily Times. Hangu District Co-ordination Officer Shahab Ali told reporters that the security forces were “combing the area” to drive militants out of the town and its suburbs. Interior Secretary Syed Kamal Shah said the situation in Hangu district was under control after the military operation. Talking to reporters in Islamabad after a Senate committee meeting, Shah said Taliban leader BaitullahMehsud was behind the violence in the district. Meanwhile, the NWFP Home Secretary TipuMahabat Khan told reporters in provincial capital Peshawar that the Government would launch further operations were the state writ challenged. Khan added the operation was inevitable to tackle the situation in Hangu as militants were kidnapping people on the roads, obstructing development works and threatening non-government organisations. A military official claimed that the objectives of the Hangu operation codenamed “Operation Zarb-e-Kaleem” have been achieved. According to Dawn News, Major General Khalid Rabbani, the operation commander, said that although troops faced serious resistance in some areas, the operation has achieved its objectives.

48 militants, including a commander, and five soldiers were killed and an unspecified number of people were injured as fierce clashes continued in the Swat Valley of the NWFP for the second consecutive day on July 30, The News reported. The fighting erupted on July 29 after the militants attacked a security post in their stronghold in the Matta sub-division and took about 25 security force (SF) personnel hostage. After the overnight targeting of various militants’ positions, the SFs, backed by gunship helicopters, carried out an operation and shelled suspected militant positions in several parts of the valley, including Peuchar, Namal, Ronial, Sarbanda and Chuprial that left 48 persons dead and as many injured. The Taliban militants also claimed killing 25 SF personnel, but the claim could not be confirmed independently. A military spokesman said in the daylong clashes with the militants, one officer, a junior officer and three soldiers were killed. The two sides clashed in the Sijbanr area of Matta in which, according to the military spokesman, approximately 25 militants were killed. In the Sarbanda area of Matta, hundreds of militants attacked the troops and claimed killing 30 SF personnel. The claim was rejected by the military, which said that only two officers and three soldiers were killed in the attack. Further, SFs also killed 12 militants and injured several others when they attacked the militants, who had laid siege to the Matta police station. The militants targeted the Wenai check-post with rockets and one militant was killed when the troops retaliated. Backed by gunship helicopters, the SFs also attacked suspected positions of the militants in the mountainous area of Peuchar, killing ‘commander’ Maulvi Hussain Ali alias Tor Mulla and 10 others. The attack also left six militants, including commander Nisar, injured. In the Jura area of Matta, shelling by the Army gunship helicopters injured 13 people. In the Shangwatai area of Matta, two persons were killed as the peach orchard, they were working in, was targeted by military gunship helicopters. In addition, approximately 24 mortar shells landed in Nihag Darra area on the Swat-Dir border injuring two persons. The militants also blew up a Government hotel in Malam Jabba, which they had torched earlier, and an Army rest house in the Charbagh sub-division. They also blew up a Government girls’ school in Gulibagh and bridges in the Gurra, Ronial and other areas of Matta. The local military officials said curfew across the Swat Valley would remain in place till further notice. The militants also blocked roads in Kabal sub-division, Chota Kalam, Ningwalai and other mountainous areas with huge boulders and tree trunks suspending traffic on the Matta-Mingora road. Muslim Khan, spokesman for the local Taliban, told Associated Press that only five militants had been killed in the clashes and claimed that they had killed more than 30 soldiers. "The morale of our Taliban is high and security forces are retreating in several areas," he claimed. He said the militants were fighting in self-defence and blamed the Government for "not honouring" the May 2008 peace agreement. "If the Government doesn’t announce a formal end to this deal, neither will we," Khan said. Talks, for the moment, were out of question, he added.

At least 25 militants, including two Taliban commanders, were killed in an air strike on militant hideouts in the Swat valley of the NWFP on August 29, Daily Times reported. A private jail and an ammunition depot of militants were among the air strike targets. A military spokesman in Swat told AFP that "a core of militants" had perished in the operation.

Military spokesman in Swat Major Nasir Ali told Dawn: "Ammunition dumps in the Peuchar area have been blown up in the heavy bombing. Smoke is billowing from the targeted site."

The security forces (SFs) claimed to have killed about 30 militants and wounded 35 others in a ground assault backed by gunship helicopters in the militants-infested Koza Bandai area of Swat Valley in the NWFP on September 3, The News reported. There were also reports about five civilian casualties, including four women, besides injuries to scores of others. Two SF personnel were reportedly killed and four others sustained injuries. SFs launched a ground assault in Koza Bandai, the native village of the Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan, at dawn on September 3 to clear the area of the militants. A Mingora-based military spokesman, Major Nasir Ali, told The News that 25 to 30 militants were killed and 30 to 35 were injured in the attack that was backed by gunship helicopters. He claimed that the militants had been flushed out of the area but "some pockets of resistance were still there," which, he added, "would be mopped up in the next stage of the operation". Giving details, Major Ali said militants had established themselves in the village and made the civilian population hostage. The area, he added, was a stronghold of the miscreants, which served as a launching pad for their terrorist activities in and around the suburbs of Mingora, the district headquarters of Swat.
